Blurring background texts in screenshots after iOS 26 update Before the ios26 update, when I would screenshot a text, specifically when I would hold down on one in particular to screenshot it would automatically blur the texts in the background so you couldn’t read them all— just the highlighted message. but now it doesn’t do it? I’ve turned reduce transparency off and on, and it’s still doing it. Any ideas? Or is it just a bug in ios26 and something we kinda gotta wait for a patch for, ya think?

Text effects not working (IOS 18 version) The new IOS 18 update is supposed to come with new text effects in iMessages, such as shake, ripple, jitter, and so on. I have IOS 18.2.0 installed, but the text effects feature does not work for me.
